Hi all and thank you in advance for those who will give me some piece of advice :)
My name is Stefano and I just started using a V180 printer with Fiery Full Package (Color Profiler Suite, Spectrophotometer, ecc. ecc.). I'm really a newbie so I hope my questions won't be kind of stupid.
From...

Are there any settings either on the Fiery end or from the designers end that will eliminate banding on gradients? We've tried APE and composite overprint on our Ricoh 751, as well as removing the text and images with the same results (banding may shift a little but still there). See image...

I have run into this three times recently, where I have had my customers reset the calibration measurements for their plain paper output profile back to factory settings in order to remove the pink color cast from calibration. I've used both ColorCal and Spectrophotometer methods to calibrate, and...

Hi!
Today I've tried CWS' "Optimize spot color" feature for the first time and somehow, I'm a little bit confused. Here's what I did:
I wanted to print a document containing the color HKS 43 K. A quick look into CWS revealed that my system can't reproduce this color quite well (deltaE around...

Hello Everyone,
I attempted searching XCMYK on the forums and didn't find anything on the topic. I would like to know how do I linearize / calibrate to CMYK on bother Fiery XF 6.5 and Command Work Station 6.1?
Cheers,

Help Please
I have a problem I hope someone can help me with.
I have a 4 page PDF file with a linked red banner that runs across the top. when I print it out of Express to my Epson P5000 the red bar prints correct on pages 1&3 and incorrect on 2&4 almost orange. I have checked my indesign files...

If you drop a pdf in CWS it honors whatever output profile you set as default for the Fiery. If you print from a mac it doesn't. You have to manually drill in and select the output profile. Every time. It's killing us. If you try to set the default in cups, no luck there either.
Second Level...

Hi,
We recently replaced out fiery and we lost all of the settings. Actually I'm not sure if this color issue started before then because I didn't work here then. I'm not sure if it is the c6000 printer or if having all our reds print orange is from choosing the wrong profile when...

Hello...Fiery newbie here...my boss has a few custom made color profiles on his CWS...when he made a few couple of days ago, they don't load in the document properties upon printing the job he created them for...they show in the color setup/output manager, so they exist...no patches or updates...

Using photoshop files with InDesign or converting them directly to pdf's produces banding in C & M but not Y or K. Am I missing some settings in photoshop that pass through to the other Creative Suite programs?

Our work place has undergone a change from mostly PDF job flows to mostly PostScript. When we were PDF we did a lot of spot color matching and such and now I am being tasked to make sections of color in the postscript job flow.
Other than using a blanket approach by custom output profiles I am at...

Hi!
I've recently noticed that when using the Postflight option, my Fiery seems to ignore the media's associated paper catalog output profile.
If I enable postflight and actually print/rip the job, I can see that the stock profile is applied. That's visible on the postflight page itself...

Is there anything I can do to improve my prints on textured stock? I'm using digital papers, all machine parts are new/good, but I can't seem to print a decent image. I've tried to adjust the 2nd Bias Transfer with not much improvement. I'm hoping there is something I can do using Command...

My ImagePress C800 is printing black so dark, that its washing out all details across my documents. I've tried going into the settings menus and changing the color cast for K to -2, changing the color balance from 0 to -8, even recalibrating my machine.
All of this has been to no avail, and...
